Removes security vulnerability caused by py

• Automatic tests and Release to PyPI

Currently, we are generating a single DCM output for a single page. We need the option to be able to generate a single DCM for all the pages.

Currently, the VR of a field is set manually. We need to way to find the VR from the pydicom library for a field and set it accordingly.

I don't think that the SOPInstanceUID should be taken from the template dicom. SOPInstanceUID should always be unique.
If the template dicom is a 'true' dicom in PACs then one of the two will not be seen by PACs.

Update the license year and add a cron job github action to do it automatically every year.

• Convert a pdf file to Dicom file encapsulated type

Currently, the code coverage report says that we have 100% coverage, except for the personalization function. We need to add a test in the base test file(test_01_base.py) to cover the method personalize_dcm in the BaseConverter classs.

Hi everyone,
first of all, thanks for the effort you are putting into this library.

I have a (coloured) PDF containing a medical report which I need to store back into PACS as a secondary capture in an automated way. Therefore I was looking for some pdf2dicom converters and I came across this repo.

I can successfully generate a dicom image from a pdf using your python package, but

• ImageJ won't open the newly generated image ("Unable to decode DICOM header"). Is it a ImageJ "bug" or are there some problems with the dicom fields? The dicom fields were taken from an actual CT image that opens correctly via ImageJ
• Horos will open the image, but it looks really weird (see attachment below). Am I missing something or maybe the conversion from RGB pdf is not implemented yet?

Here the link to the sample pdf I am trying to convert
Thanks

The fields that should be customization should be defined by the user in the form of tags or field name.

Move the examples from the readme to the docs

Hello,

First of all, great work with the package, it is really helpful. I have a suggestion for improvement. When working with remote storage, using for example RaRe-Technologies/smart_open, or when you accept Dicom in a web application through the form, you may have the file(s) already in some variable, and to store them on the disk and pass the path may be a bit cumbersome.

pydicom is able to work with file-like object and does not need a file path, e.g

import pydicom
source_dcm = pydicom.dcmread(io.BytesIO(data.getvalue()))

It would be nice to have pdf2dcm API ready for such case. First shot at how it could look like

from pdf2dcm import Pdf2EncapsDCM
converter = Pdf2EncapsDCM()
encapsulated_pdf = converter.run(
    pdf=io.BytesIO(b"My pdf"), template_dcm=pydicom.dcmread(io.BytesIO(data.getvalue()), return_ds=True)
)

return_ds would prevent the file from being saved on the disk and it would return pydicom Dataset because sometimes you want to, for example, save some metadata to the database and you need to read the file repeatedly. Also, template_dcm could accept pydicom Dataset as well.

I would be glad for your feedback on these suggestions and I am willing to open the PR afterward. Of course, I will understand if this functionality is out of the scope of this package, but I think more people could benefit from it.

I am looking forward to your response!

Rado.

FYI look into the thread of suggestion in the Monai Deploy SDK API.

Dicoms produced through pdf2rgb are incorrect (row - column inversion problem)

Steps to produce error (note valid dicoms are produced but content is incorrect):

from pdf2dcm import Pdf2RgbSC
converter = Pdf2RgbSC()
converter.run('tests/test_data/test_file.pdf', 'tests/test_data/CT_small.dcm')

Inspect test_file_0.dcm in dicom viewer to see rows / cols swapped.

Steps to correct:
PIL img is width-x-height so lines 57-58 in pdf2rgb.py

        ds.Rows = img.size[1]
        ds.Columns = img.size[0]

This will produce correct dicoms.
